It didn't take long for Fang Plover to see the team that Sylvide mentioned.
It was a large team, and the long team was meandering through the forest.
He found that there was not just one guild inside, but a joint team of many small guilds. Among them, the largest group of people were uniformly wearing blue shirts with crosses, which was the main body of the team. There were also many people wearing other shapes and colors.
's jersey.
Among them, there are more than a dozen people, but only a few people.
The negative hill beast was so conspicuous in the forest, and those people naturally noticed Mr. Huiyan, Fang Plover and others. The team slowly stopped, and Fang Plover saw that those people seemed to be discussing with each other, and then those people
Only a group of people wearing blue jerseys with crosses came out slowly.
He stood on the platform and watched the team pass through the battlefield between the people and the night lizards last night and move towards this side.
The corpses of the night lizards in the forest clearing have long since disappeared, returning to the gods they believed in. The night lizards and troglodytes have certain wisdom. They believe in a natural spirit together, which is a primary god, so nature also has
The Temple of the Resurrection.
However, the traces of the battle on the battlefield cannot be eliminated. Broken trees, large swaths of charred open space, and tall and eye-catching beasts of burden all seem to indicate that this 'caravan' is not easy to mess with.
Yes, those people seemed to regard Fang Plover and others as an armed caravan, because generally only merchants would carry large beasts of burden in the wild. Although their team also brought a lot of livestock, they were all yaks and ropes.
Small mountain beasts of burden such as the tov's dragon.
There were five people in the team that came over.
Four men and one woman, except for one man and one woman who looked older, the others were all young people. They stopped at a safe distance and shouted to this side:
"Are you a caravan heading to Yunzhi Port?"
As Princess Brianne told everyone, there was a small village near the Golden Bay anchorage. Before the anchorage was discovered, there were only a dozen families of hunters living there. But with the anchorage discovered half a century ago, it gradually developed and grew, and there were often
Business travelers in the past stayed or settled there for a long time.
Thirty years ago, merchants from Cloud Port built a trade route across Fenris Island. After that, land-based commercial activities gradually began between the two places.
Therefore it is not surprising to see small caravans along this route.
The speaker was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was wearing a dirty leather vest. The original color of the white shirt underneath could hardly be seen. He had a blunderbuss, two swords, and a long sword on his belt.
A short moment later. The other party saw two crossbows one behind the other on the platform carried by Mr. Huiyan, and the crossbow arrows as thick as his arms shone with cold light. He stopped at a distance and couldn't help but be speechless.
Caravans usually use large beasts of burden as transportation vehicles, but it is really rare to install two ballistas so frantically. It is an exaggeration to say that they are armed merchants.
However, he probably didn't expect that the young man on the opposite platform thought that the platform was not hedgehog enough.
Of course, Fang Plover and his party were not originally a caravan.
Fang Yu shook his head at these people on the platform and replied loudly: "We are not businessmen, we are adventurers who plan to go to Yunzhi Port."
Only then did the man see the golden sphere flying slowly around the platform, and the metal gloves on Fang Plover's hand. Alchemist, he couldn't help but suddenly realized that a team with alchemists as the main body would naturally need such a large beast of burden platform.
.
Of course, those who can control clockwork fairies also have the option of combat craftsman, but the man obviously did not think in this direction. In Aitaria, combat craftsman is generally a profession unique to large guilds, and even small guilds cannot cultivate it.
Since then, combat craftsmen born as free adventurers have become even rarer.
For example, the Rain Listener Guild does not have a single combat craftsman. There are a few professional alchemists in the guild, but they are important assets of the guild and will not easily join them in adventures.
When they go out on adventures, they are usually accompanied by part-time trainee alchemists. If they only maintain and maintain the magic weapon, it is basically enough.
A team of professional alchemists. This discovery made the man happy. Fang Lu saw that the man immediately turned back to communicate with his companions, and several people had a look of relief on their faces.
He was still a little surprised when he saw the other party turning around and shouting: "Excuse me, are you a traveling alchemist?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and he really thought carefully about whether he was an alchemist or not.
In Aitaria, the profession of alchemist theoretically also includes combat craftsmen. But generally speaking, when adventurers call each other, combat craftsmen are naturally combat craftsmen, while alchemists generally refer to professional alchemists only.
From this point of view, he is certainly a combat craftsman.
But if you look into it carefully, he actually didn't invest much in the field of combat craftsman, less than half of his total experience, and more of his experience was actually invested in the master craftsman route.
This is because he lacks magical adaptability and has to inherit the mantle of Hain-Fam. To inherit the mantle of an alchemy master, it is obviously not enough to have a general understanding of the field of alchemy.
What's more, he still had to design and build the Dragon Knight structure himself, and now he had another obligation to build a ship. In short, he was going further and further on the path of a master craftsman.
The route of the master craftsman is undoubtedly the most orthodox route of the professional alchemist.
So he nodded.
He is probably barely a professional alchemist, although his alchemist level may not be as high as his total character level.
"That's really great," the man nodded when he saw him, not hiding his joy: "Mr. Alchemist, we may need a little help from you, but don't worry, we will pay you according to the market price."
remuneration?
Fang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this.
"What happened?" At this time, Attila heard the noise outside and walked out of the room and asked.
"A forest elf?" The man was surprised. The Hill of Giant Trees does not belong to the Cloud Sea area. Although forest elves here are not as rare as the people of Lotao, they are not one of the common ethnic groups.
However, this discovery did not so much surprise him as it gave him some unexpected joy. An adventure group traveling to the Sea of Clouds from other areas at least meant that the other party was definitely not a novice.
He didn't expect that he would encounter an adventure group led by a high-level alchemist in such a deserted place in the northern mountains and forests of Fenris. This really solved an urgent need.
After the other party's explanation, Fang Pliong and Atila finally understood the whole story.
As he expected, that man and his companions were both members of the Rain Listeners Guild. The blue tabard with a cross was naturally the guild emblem of the Rain Listeners Guild.
Accompanying them are actually other guilds of all sizes on Fenris Island. It can be said that all the more famous guilds in Fenris are basically gathered here.
But the largest among them is undoubtedly the one that listens to the rain.
Just as Princess Brianne said, these people came to participate in the Spring and Autumn Parade. According to the man, they set off from Yunzhi Port by boat at this time of year and arrived at Jinwan, and from here they went deep into the Green Dragon Mountains.
The ruins of the ancient Snake Empire are located in a valley deep in the mountains.
Since it is a trainee parade, more than half of the people in this team are naturally trainees from various guilds. In addition, they are the guild veterans who are responsible for protecting these trainees, accounting for about one-third.
They conduct this kind of activity twice a year, and they have done it countless times so far, but they didn't expect that they would run into trouble this time.
It turns out that they, like Fang Plover and his party, were also attacked by the Night Lizards last night. Although almost every year when they passed through this place, they would attract Night Lizard attackers, but generally speaking, there were only a few or a dozen Night Lizards.
The harassment of the attackers was nothing compared to the large force formed by these guilds.
But this time it's different
"It seems that your Excellency has also been attacked by night lizards." The man looked at the surrounding situation. He was a veteran, so he could naturally see the traces after the battle: "It's the same with us. The number of those beasts seems to be particularly large this year. We
Although they were repelled, the losses were serious."
"I understand," Fang Yu finally understood the implication of the other party's words. The fierce fighting situation showed that the loss of the magic device was getting worse: "You want me to help you maintain the magic device? But you don't have anyone accompanying you.
Alchemist?"
The man shrugged upon hearing this: "Mr. Alchemist, you know that an ordinary adventure group like ours will not bring professional alchemists on the road. Those apprentices can do some tinkering."
The man shook his head: "Actually, if possible, I hope to buy some replacement weapons and armor from you, even whiteboard equipment."
Fang Plover was stunned again.
After he reacted to these words, he was secretly surprised. He thought about how many fierce battles the other party had to go through to cause so many magic devices to be damaged beyond repair?
"Can I buy weapons and armor?"
Fang Plover couldn't help but feel a bit square for a moment.
It's normal for the other party to have this idea, because generally speaking, the adventure group led by the alchemist is half a mobile store in the wild.
Because after they collect the materials, they will tend to make them into finished products directly, plus a lot of hands-on products. Except that the styles of the finished products may be adapted to local conditions and the varieties are not so rich, in other aspects they are the same as the magic shops in the town.
There is no difference.
And such traveling alchemists are happy to trade with adventurers in the wild. Firstly, they don't have to pay taxes, and secondly, adventurers in the wild are willing to pay higher prices.
But Fang Plover is different.
He has not had enough time to practice and study Type 0 and Type 1 crystals since he came from Traveler's Rest. The remaining time he squeezed out was either helping other people in the team maintain their combat equipment or modifying the platform.
For example, install the two ballistae.
Even if he had a little private time, he would be occupied by the smiling aristocratic lady, euphemistically saying that he would help him understand the design drawings of the airship.
Where do you find the time to do other things?
He almost had to take up time to sleep and eat while learning alchemy knowledge.
In fact, no one on the Berio had seen him several times, and that was really not because Fang Plover was willing to lock himself in the house all day long.
But when he was about to politely refuse, a voice came from beside him and answered for him:
"Can."
Fang Yu was shocked. He looked back and found that the person who spoke was indeed Miss Attila.
But where did he get anything to sell to these people? Yesterday during the day, he helped Parker make a box of crossbow arrows, but would anyone want that kind of thing?
Fang Yu was afraid that Miss Elf would not know his situation. His experience was naturally different from that of ordinary alchemists, so he quickly lowered his voice and whispered: "Wait, Miss Attila, I..."
But Aitila pressed his hand gently, shook her head at him without leaving a trace, and signaled him to calm down.
Fang Plover was slightly startled when he saw this, but he could only temporarily stop his activities.
It's just that I feel unsure about what kind of medicine Miss Etila bought in the gourd. In fact, she should know what the assets in the team are like.
"Thank you very much." The man glanced at Atila. Naturally, he didn't know the inner activities of the two people on the platform. The situation of their team was actually much more serious than what he said. Although they would not lose their combat effectiveness immediately, if
If the situation last night were repeated, the problem would be huge.
Maybe there is no need to do it again, and only half the number of night lizard attackers from yesterday can put them in a dilemma. By then, it is possible that the entire army will be destroyed.
It's not a big problem for veterans like them to be wiped out. At best, it's just a matter of missing a little bit of Starlight. But the guild has lost a group of trainees, and no one can bear this responsibility.
Not to mention this tense time.
Of course, they can also choose to return to Jinwan, but it will take at least two days to go back and forth. In fact, the time nodes of the Spring and Autumn Parade are fixed. If they return, they may be in danger of missing the trial.
Although that situation is better than the annihilation of the entire army, it is actually not much different. At least the trainee training plan for the past six months is basically in vain.
They were already in a dilemma when they were at Emerald Pass. If the sounding airship hadn't told them that there was a caravan in the valley ahead, this unexpected news would have saved them from trouble.
I just didn't expect that the caravan was not a caravan, but an adventure group led by an alchemist. However, it seemed that the latter was better than they originally imagined.
Encountering an adventure group led by an alchemist in the wild is something that is rare even in areas like Kaolin, let alone Fenris.
So the man nodded quickly. He didn't know that there was a weirdo like Fang Plover among the alchemist team. He became a trainee alchemist for more than half a year, and then it only took a month to go from level three to level eight. Although it seemed that the level
It’s not low, but I’m still a novice.
As for any property or inventory of manufactured goods, of course there is no such thing.
He said: "Ms. Elf, then we will calculate the cost according to the market price in the Fenris Island area. You can check the local prices in the community. What do you think? Of course, this is the wild, and theoretically you can do it appropriately.
Price increase."
The price is naturally quite reasonable.
Attila knew this in her heart, but she shook her head and said: "Sir, as you can see, we were also attacked by the night lizards and lost some rations and a lot of supplies, so we are afraid of what you want to buy.
It’s hard to come up with the finished product at once.”
"But I have a suggestion. You can hire us to accompany you. It can be seen that you are in a hurry. Returning to Jinwan is obviously not worth the gain. Therefore, we can help each other. On the one hand, we also have a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
Meeting the night lizards down here will also help. On the other hand, we can help you make a batch of equipment on the road. As you can see, we also carry beast platforms, so we can complete the production tasks while traveling."
The man was slightly startled. His face was a little ugly when he heard the first half of Attila's words, but after hearing this suggestion, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he found that he had no choice but to disagree because he didn't really have much choice.
Of course, this was because he subconsciously believed that this team was led by a very skilled alchemist. Although Fang Plover looked young, age usually didn't mean much to the genius of the selector.
He himself is the chosen one, so he naturally understands this.
On the other hand, the opponent comes from an area outside the Sea of Clouds. How can an adventure group that can travel across regions be a novice team? The opponent has a large beast of burden with extraordinary value, which seems to illustrate this point from the side.
Of course, if he knew that the young man opposite was only at level nine, he would probably immediately consider returning to Jinwan. Although an eighth-level alchemist was not a novice, he was probably still a certain level away from being a professional.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "What about the price?"
"As for the price, we will have people come to discuss with you later. Since it is joint assistance, we will naturally provide you with a relatively preferential price. However, we hope to use part of the rations to settle the bill." Aitila calmly said
replied.
"That's no problem." The man replied. They did not suffer much material loss in last night's battle, and there was obviously no problem with their ration reserves.
"Then it's settled, ma'am," he continued: "We'll let the others rest here for a while while we wait to discuss merging the teams."
As the man spoke, he took off his feathered three-cornered hat, saluted everyone, and then turned and left.
When Fang Yu saw the other party leaving, he looked at Aitila with a guilty conscience: "Is that okay, Miss Aitila?"
"Aren't you confident in your alchemy, Ed?" Miss Elf turned around and asked.
Fang Yu scratched his head. To be honest, he really didn't know what level he was as an alchemist. Unlike in the battle craftsman field where he had fought against Wu Di and Hongye, the top geniuses of Aitaria's first-tier guilds, he probably knew what his combat prowess was.
What level.
As for his Alchemist, apart from being unanimously praised by everyone in the group during Dawn Star, his only performance was probably in the Mainland League.
However, the main competition in the Continental League is the speed and accuracy of alchemists, but in Aitaria, alchemy is a broad field, and it is far more than just speed and accuracy.
Apart from being a little confident in maintaining magic weapons, he really doesn't know much about production. In fact, from the time he entered this world until now, he has only made a few things.
